[SOLVED]Fusion-icon won't start after Nvidia driver update

Hi,
Today I got an update from Arch including a new kernel and an update of my Nvidia drivers. I use GNOME with Compiz Fusion, that is started by Fusion-Icon. Now Fusion-Icon gives the following errors:
[jozef@frodo ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome
* Error: glxinfo not installed!
I searched in the repos, but I coulnd't find a package called "glxinfo".
Could someone help?
Kind regards,
Jozef00

Thank you very much! Now Compiz Fusion works again.
Kind regards,

[SOLVED] GDM/Gnome won't start after update

Today after I run pacman -Suy, GDM/Gnome won't start anymore after reboot. The error message I get after GDM starts is:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator
Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I recover the system?
Here is the complete log for the update:
http://bpaste.net/show/209520/
Here is the journalctl -u gdm log:
http://sprunge.us/LEOU
Here is tail -2000 /var/log/messages.log:
http://sprunge.us/ObWY
And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
http://bpaste.net/show/209549/
I can't imagine any other log file that might help figure out what happened, let me know if there's anything else.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I stopped gdm, created a ~/.xinitrc and could successfully start Gnome with startx. The problem remains with GDM.

I'm not sure my issue is really the same one, but am hoping for some guidance here if possible. Trying to start GDM gives me the same error message/screen. After tdm fails I can switch to a console,
sudo systemctl stop gdm.service
then
sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
and lightdm starts fine. However, trying to log in to gnome-session gives me the very same error as I had with GDM. I can log into XFCE just fine. Attempting to start gnome-ession via startx also gives me the error screen. Does anyone know how I can diagnose the problem? Thanks,
Matt

[SOLVED] EVE Online won't start after Crucible 1.5 update

Before i start, i'm aware that this would be better off at WineHQ, but i'm technically not asking for help. I'm just wondering if any of you have gotten it running since the update. I already googled the issue and same thing for me as for every other Linux user, The Launcher works fine, but after the splashscreen it just crashes. So if any of you find a fix (or i find a fix, in which case i'll mark this thread as solved) please share it. Oh and i tried one fix that supposedly worked for a few, but i had no luck. (changing the msvcr100 from (native, builtin) to (builtin, native) )
Any help appreciated
Edit:
Okay i tried pretty much "everything" and i decided to completely remove and re-install wine (and all directories within) and start from a new install. These are the commands i made.
sudo pacman -Rs wine (first i removed winetricks, wine_gecko, and others requiring wine though)
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
Then i reinstalled wine and winetricks.
And I installed these packages using winetricks.
allfonts
msxml4
vcrun2005sp1
vcrun2008
vcrun2010
Then simply downloaded and installed the game, and at first i got the same crash error. So i went into winecfg and changed the msvcr100 to (builtin, native) and voila! it works perfectly. I must have had a missing file, or conflicting files or something within wine earlier.
So it's confirmed, this solution DOES work. And if you're in my position, and all else fails, then you know what to do. Hope this helps anyone who happens to be in the position i was.
Edit II:
Okay so after several patches after the big update, it seems to crash after every one of them, but it's simple to work around. When there's a new patch available follow these simple steps.
- Change msvcr80/90/100 to (native, builtin) and you will be able to successfully update with the launcher
- when the update is done, close the launcher, open winecfg and change back msvcr80/90/100 to (builtin, native) and you will be able to launch the game.
This seems to have worked for every patch/update that's released.
Oh and lastly, i also ended up installing d3dx9_43 with winetricks, don't know if that's necessary or not, but nevertheless.

Thanks, I had to change mscvr80 and mscvr90 to (builtin, native) also, but your msvcr100 tip lead me there. Works well for me now, thank you for sharing your experience.

Sony Xperia Z Tablet SGP311 won't start after failed Lollipop update

I cannot get my Sony Xperia Z table SGP311 to start after I allowed it to update with Android Lollipop.
Every time I have the device over the past week I was getting notifications to update. I finally accepted. (I wish I hadn't).
After the update notified me that it was unsuccessfil, I have the following situation:
If I plug in the charger, the indicator light will come on red, and screen will briefly display a charging icon. If I then unplug charger, the red light will go off.
From an 'off' state, charger not plugged in, if I press the Power button until the indicator light blinks blue once, the screen will appear with:
SONY
XPERIA
and then goes back to a blank screen. It will repeat this every 30 seconds.
If I turn off the device by holding Vol+ and the Power button simultaneously and wait for the indicator light to flash 3 times, charger /PC not plugged in (Let me call this state "OFF" for short), and then:
1. From OFF, then try turning on with Vol+ and Power button simultaneously: nothing will happen.
2. From OFF, go to PC Companion on my desktop PC, Support Zone > Phone/Tablet Software Update > Connect: nothing will happen.
3. From OFF, go to PC Companion > Support zone > Phone/Tablet Software Update > Repair my phone/tablet > Another phone/tablet > select SGP311 > hold Vol- while inserting USB cable from PC, blue inicator light will come on, update process will begin, then terminate with "device update error", so "Retry', but this terminates with "download error", and "check your internet connection". But there is nothing wrong with my internet connection!
Any more ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for your contributions.
After Pressing Power+Vol-up for 10 secs (during which indicator light gives 1 blue flash then a 5sec pause, then 3 blue flashes in quick succession):
I attempt the PCC repair, by pressing the vol-down (the side of the Volume rocker switch furthest from the Power button) as I simultaneously plug in the cable from the USB port.
When I do this, I see the indicator light flash red momentarily (<0.5sec) and immediately momentarily (<0.5sec) flash green.
The updater begins but always aborts about 1 minute later with an 'Error 100' message.
I have no other internet connection but I supose the next stage of all this is:
1. Learn all the indicator light colours and flashing sequences so I know what the device is messaging. Is there a code guide I can download?
2. Install PC companion on my laptop and try using that.
Also, how do I know if the device is charging from a wall charger? Will it charge when the device is power-off? Should I see an indicator light, and if so would it be always-on, or only flash or remain on for a certain time after plugging in the charger?
I should never have given in to the nag messages to update the OS. What a headache.

Apple TV won't start after 5.3 update. Please help!

I got notified this morning that there was a software update for my Apple TV. I left it to update. I came back and now it won't start when I press the menu button on the remote. I didn't want to unplug the power cable, but my tv is not getting a signal from the ATV, so would it be ok?
Thanks!

Mine has done that as well but it wants you to connect a cord to the iTunes icon which doesn't make sense to me.

Windows won't start after downloading driver.

I recently installed an audio driver for my Lenovo Ideatab Lynx but after restarting the device, windows won't start up. It shows the lock screen but after unlocking, the screen stays blank and wont show the start menu. I think i accidentally installed the driver from the windows 8 page when i do have windows 8.1 on my device. Is this why this is happening and how can I fix it?

Satellite P205-S6307
The only way it will start is in safe mode.
So you know how to get to the Advanced Boot Options menu using F8. Go there and choose Repair Your Computer.
When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
I've tried several things..
If that doesn't fix the normal boot, tell us what you've already tried. There's no point in our repeating all those.

Why Macbook won't start after unsuccessful software update (BSoD) ?

My Macbook is not starting after an unsuccessful attempt to do a software update.
There were 5 updates available but none would work, so I downloaded a couple of updates individually from Apple's website.
But these individual updates did not work as well and an error message said that the digital certificate may have been tampered with.
After retrying an iTunes update, the message that I needed to restart my computer appeared.
Since then on every start up attempt, I get the Apple icon and then the same message to restart my computer appears.
I know what the system looks like with a HDD failure and this is not it.
Clearly a software issue has caused a hardware failure somehow.
I am wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a recent bug or glitch within the software update process that is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

After obtaining and installing another HD (250 GB), it appears that something is quickly returning me to the same place.
The time lost within installing the HD and reinstalling the various software programs is becoming a little too high for me.
I bought and installed Leopard to avoid going through anything Tiger may have had that brought my Macbook to its knees.
But now here I am again less than 1 month after installing the new HD and installing Leopard with a Macbook that simply will not work.
To top it all off, I bought an external HD to use Time Machine today and never have had the opportunity to backup everything.
Any ideas are definitely appreciated in advance.
My biggest concern right now is that it appears that the Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS) either has returned or something is allowing the temperature to escalate and overheating a board or something internally.

Poor resolution of dektop after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion Media center 8020n PC connected to HP w1907 monitor with optimum resolution of 1440X900 at 60 hz.
The display adapter is Nvidia GE force 7350 LE. It has Windows vista home premium with Intel Core 2 processor.
I recently updated the video driver from nvidia website version 266.58. Right after the download at the first bootup there was a big difference in the screen resolution. The picture is not crisp and sharp like it was before the update.
I have tried to uninstall the new driver, unnstall the old driver and restart in safe mode with the antivirus off but it still gives the same poor resolution with streched out picture.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Look here for a monitor driver update. Install the driver and reboot. Then check the monitor type in the Device Manager. Now does it indicate the HP 1907 monitor?

NVIDIA Tesla C2075 Disappeared after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have 2 NVIDIA cards, the primary is NVIDIA GTS 450 and the secondary is Tesla C2075.
After upgrading
linux 3.6.9 => linux 3.7.9-2
nvidia 310 => nvidia 313.18-3
nvidia-utils 310 => nvidia-utils 313.18-1
opencl-nvidia 310 => opencl-nvidia 313.18-1
The cudaGetDeviceCount function in CUDA didn't recognize Tesla C2075,
and cudaGetDeviceProperties couldn't find it as well.
Strangely enough, Tesla C2075 still shows up in nvidia-smi and nvidia-settings,
and some programs using opencl-nvidia interface could recognize Tesla C2075 as well,
the problem is only with CUDA programs....
I tried reinstalling cuda5 and recompiling the binaries,
switching the Tesla C2075 to the primary video card,
but they didn't make any difference.
Any idea on how this could happen?
Now I just down-graded nvidia driver and Tesla C2075 shows up in CUDA programs again....
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Xorg 1.16 updated and won't start with Nvidia driver

I tried updating to xorg 1.16 yesterday and after rebooting everything stopped after "[OK] Reached target Network."
I was able to switch to a different terminal and downgrade to xorg 1.15 to boot again.
I've seen https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-ser … available/ but I'm not sure what it implies I need to change to get it to work. I am running Gnome 3 with GDM.
I'm fairly new to Arch so any help to get me moving in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
Justin

That fixed it! You guys are awesome.
For other's reference...
Once booted press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get another terminal. Log in and type the following to downgrade the xorg packages.
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
sudo pacman -U xorg-server-1.15.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-input-evdev-2.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo reboot
Once it reboots you should have your desktop again. Run nvidia-settings and go to X Server Display Configuration. From there click Save to X Configuration File and save the file as 20-nvidia.conf. Then move the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf if you saved it somewhere else.
Upgrade back to xorg 1.16 and reboot.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3 won't start after kernel upgrade

I have upgraded to kernel 3.0, and now I am getting the following error when I try to start gdm:
** (gdm-binary:936): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm0binary:936): WARNING **: Could not acquire name: bailing out
Can anybody explain what the deal is?
Last edited by spiritwalker (2011-08-17 16:50:44)

theseus, thank you for the reply. I thought you can only start gnome using some kind of display manager. If I understood you correctly, I did 'telinit 5' and then 'startx' with the folowing results:
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 5
INIT: cannot execute "/usr/bin/xdm" <---- This line repeats 10 times
INIT: ID "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
But when I did 'who -r' I got this:
run-level 5 2011-08-16 02:26 last = 4
So I tried to start X wich resulted in the following:

Also, arch is installed in a virtual box, so I didn't install any video drivers like nvidia.
Thanks
Moderator edit:
spiritwalker, please do not post pictures of this large size: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code
In this specific case you could have made use the log files in /var/log and posted the relevant info in [ code ] tags.
Besides, this way you will get used to work with logs, which is mandatory in Arch, imo.

The Sims Game won't start after latest OSX update?

Hello
Ive tried so many things but my problem just don't get fixed!
Yesterday I updated my MacBook Air with the new OSX 10.8.4 Update, since then my Sims 3 is not working no more!
I tried a lot of things from the view that Sims was the Problem, but since this Problem accured just after I updated my Mac System, I figured it has to do something with the new Apple Update!
When I start my Sims all I see is a Black Screen, It wont react unless I end with cmd/esc.
I tried a lot of things and it just won't help anything.
I reinstalled the Sims and it just doesnt show any process.
I would be so glad, if sb. could help me and know why my Sims Game is acting up so much, since the new Mac OSX update.
Maybe the Sims and the new Update is not compatible with each other?
Somebody help me please! Thank you very much!!!

Boot into the Safe Mode and try to open it.
Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

any ideas how to fix it?
Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

- FOR OS VERSION UPDATES YOU CAN ROLL THEM BACK
have to trash the UPDATE10.4.?.PKG file that is located in:
Hard drive> Library> recipts folder> ??.pkg file. (check spotlight search if you cant navigate to the Recipts folder for .pkg files to take out the one for the latest update you have done.
Basically the only way to "roll back" any applications or drivers that are updated is to do an entire Archive and Install of your OS (can do preserving user and network settings and WILL NOT LOOSE ANY DATA) see knowlege base article 107120 for A&I how to. You can always do the software updates later after the A&I.
That particular security update may have been faulty so of course, mabye try the DL again to see what happens and by all means CHECK THE SUPPORT TAB of this site for software updates if you want to do them. IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT. most software updates do little or nothing for the application and somtimes they could cause problems LIKE loosing your itunes library when going from 5.0 to 6.0 and so on...
